Absolutely zero reason to charge people money for this.

This app used to be quite useful, offering a simple way to play white, brown, green, or pink noise for any length of time. However, they recently introduced an update that requires payment after an hour of use. This change is completely stupid, as brown noise is widely available for completely free elsewhere. It seems the same sounds I can easily access for free from a fan or an AC are behind a paywall. Entirely pointless and stupid. If you value your money, do not download this app.

No longer free

I loved this app when it was free, unlimited brown noise. It was simple and did what I wanted. Now they made it a membership with limited playing if you don’t pay

Was free!!!

Such a shame

Original was incredible

I loved the original app. It provided a simple feature set and did it well. The most recent update is not simple, requires an account, and gated the ability to play sounds for more than an hour behind a fairly steep monthly fee. I could deal with charging for new features. I could live with the new UI. Charging not to degrade the original core functionality is.. regrettable.

Used to be absolutely perfect

The new update ruins this app. It used to be perfect and simple. Now it requires log in and a subscription?!!! What did they do to this perfect app?!!!

Should’ve kept it free

It was good until you could only use it for an hour free

Subscription service

Do I need a subscription to my brown noise app. NO.

Bloat and Paywalls are coming

This app was perfect but now they’re putting it behind a paywall and ruining the beautiful simplicity of the older version with stupid and unnecessary features.

Was great before version 2.0

This was a great simple app for generating brown noise. However, with the latest update this has all been put behind a subscription. $60/year just to listen to a brown noise is insane.

In response to the developer saying brown noise is still free for one hour. This is completely useless since people were using the brown noise to sleep through the night. And to be clear, I do not care about any of your new features

It is not help to sleep.

This app helps you to waste your time and money.

Used to be great

Loved the app before the update. Was simple and effective. Used it to sleep every single night. Then the update came with all the bells and whistles no one asked for along with a pay wall. Will be deleting and moving on to another.

Ruined a good thing

This app was ok. Then they went from being free, to a yearly subscription. Never deleted an app so fast in my life. What garbage behavior. 79.99 a year just to play static noise. Will be using the on board sounds now. iPhone>Settings>Accessibility>Audio/Visual>Background Sounds. So many better options without a disgusting yearly subscription. Hope the devs feel good about gouging people. In today’s overly subscription based society, it was nice to have one free app. But the devs went and screwed that up. DELETE. AVOID. Never support such greedy monetization

Was great, now trash

Loved this app’s simplicity and its ability to do exactly what it was meant to do. Just opened the app tonight and now you have to pay and it is completely different. Terrible.

Really? We pay now?

This app was awesome to start with and very simple. Now, you have to pay to get any use and the app is incredibly busy and obnoxious. You ruined a perfect thing :/

From free to expensive

This was a free app now it’s 59.99!!!

Disappointed

Now charging for service, everything excellent about this app has changed. Used to be basic white, brown, green, pink noise, timer with fade-out. It was perfect. Now it’s all fancy and I have to pay for things/sounds I don’t want or need. Welp, guess I’ll go pack to buying another white noise machine on Amazon…it’ll be cheaper. So disappointed.

Terrible

Was free forever and did its job until it wasn’t anymore. Greedy company, deleting now highly recommend getting ColorSleep if your in the Same situation

Disappointing to have to pay

I’ll be removing this app now that it’s no longer free since the update. Other apps that are just as good remain no charge.

Disappointed.

I used this app for free. For many months. With absolutely no warning, I get a pushed update and now it’s $80/year? Frankly - it was a “nice to have” for free. If the sudden hike alone hadn’t put me off, the price tag would have. Respectfully, it’s not that special. You should’ve tried ads first.

It used to be great

I just need a simple white/brown noise sound generator to help me sleep, and this was perfect. Ultra simple, 3 levels (deep was awesome), and free. Now it’s $60 per year with a bunch of stuff I don’t need.
